A quick tutorial and demonstration of the classic Debug Mode cheat in Sonic The Hedgehog, for the SEGA Mega Drive (Genesis). Like the Level Select cheat in Sonic The Hedgehog, Debug Mode uses a similar code to enable it. Please note that this code is for the NTSC (North America) and PAL versions of the game. The Japanese version of Sonic The Hedgehog requires a different code for many of it's cheats.

Here's how you do the Debug Mode Cheat for Sonic The Hedgehog. At the title screen, quickly press: Up, 'C', Down, 'C', Left, 'C' and Right. A chime should play to indicate the code has been entered correctly. Before the demo starts playing, HOLD down 'A' and 'Start' at the same time until the level starts. If you don't hold these two buttons down, Debug Mode will not be accessible. The first you'll likely notice about Debug Mode, is that the score is a jumbled mess. The same also applies to certain sprites when loaded incorrectly.

To use Debug Mode, hit the 'B' button to access it and turn into one of many sprites from that level. Press the 'A' button to cycle through all the sprites, and press the 'C' button to lay one anywhere on screen. Be aware that having too many on screen will result in notable slowdown, and possibly crash the game in certain areas.

Alternatively, you can use Debug Mode simply fly through each the end of the Act to locate hidden power ups and access other areas. Or just skip straight to the end in record time. Just be careful in areas like Labyrinth Zone Act 3, where accessing an area before it's correctly loaded in will result in a game crash. You can even use Debug Mode to skip through the Special Stages and easily collect the Chaos Emeralds.
